\n\nGuest post by\u00a0Robyn Srigley<\/span>\n\nIn December 2018 I received an email sharing the following story:<\/span>\n\u201cMy sister is scheduled for a hysterectomy next Wednesday. She has been bleeding heavily (about a menstrual cup an hour and needing to use Depends as a backup, because when the cup leaks it\u2019s a flood) since the beginning of October. She finally got her results from the ultrasound and it looks like a lot of fibroids, one the size of a softball. While doing surgery they plan to repair a hernia, and they said they could keep the ovaries. They said because of the size of the fibroids and the bleeding they need to do the hysterectomy. She has reached out to me to see if she has any other options. She does not want to remove her uterus in haste.\u201d<\/span>\n\n<\/span><\/blockquote>\nAs a women\u2019s health practitioner, I hear stories like this all the time. I share that fact so that when you\u2019re reading this, you realize you\u2019re not alone.<\/span>\nIt\u2019s 100% not normal to experience symptoms like these.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\nUnfortunately, traditional medicine often has no answers for experiences like this, beyond recommending surgery or meds (if they even try that first).\u00a0<\/span>\n\nI will mention that in this case, the surgery <\/span>was <\/span><\/i>necessary, and the woman felt better about having the surgery after receiving my response.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nWhen it comes to issues like heavy bleeding, fibroids and almost any other female reproductive issue where the practitioner may recommend surgery (hysterectomy, oophorectomy, and so on), if recognized early enough, surgery can often be avoided.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nBelow I\u2019m going to share some tips to recognize that what you\u2019re experiencing in fact <\/span>isn\u2019t <\/span><\/i>normal – no matter what anyone says, and how to move forward in your own care when dealing with these scary circumstances.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<\/b>\n
It\u2019s Not<\/em> Normal<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\nAlthough it seems like many women experience problem periods in one way or another, and yes – women\u2019s reproductive health issues are extremely <\/span>common<\/span><\/i> – the following are definitely <\/span>not <\/span><\/i>normal and should be addressed:<\/span>\n
\n\t
- Heavy bleeding (like changing one pad or tampon per hour)<\/span><\/li>\n\t
- Prolonged bleeding (bleeding longer than 7 days)<\/span><\/li>\n\t
- Bleeding between periods<\/span><\/li>\n\t
- Painful menstrual cycles (menstruation should cause only mild discomfort at worst)<\/span><\/li>\n\t
- Pressure, swelling or sharp pains in the lower abdomen<\/span><\/li>\n\t
- Nausea or vomiting associated with bleeding or the menstrual cycle in general<\/span><\/li>\n\t
- ANY menstrual-related symptom that interferes with your ability to live your life<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nI\u2019ll share some advice on addressing these issues later in the article.<\/span>\n\n\n\nWhat Are The Typical Medical Treatments For Fibroids?<\/span>\n\nDoctors have two routes when it comes to \u201ctreating\u201d these types of symptoms and any resulting diagnoses such as fibroids, cysts, endometriosis, and so on.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nThe first route is meds.<\/span><\/strong> Birth control being the main prescription. Women are often told taking birth control will \u201cfix\u201d their issues or \u201ccure\u201d their symptoms.<\/span>\n\nAnd while some women do report a lessening of symptoms, hormonal birth control absolutely does not \u201ccure\u201d anything – but getting into that is a full article on its own for another day.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nI\u2019ve had many clients on birth control due to pain and bleeding issues, not wanting to use it, but so incredibly scared to come off the medication because they don\u2019t want their symptoms to return.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nThe second option is surgery.<\/strong><\/span> Surgery may include a hysterectomy, oophorectomy, laparoscopy, laparotomy, etc. A full hysterectomy (both uterus and ovaries being removed) is the most drastic option.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nYes- surgery <\/span>is <\/span><\/i>necessary in some cases. Especially when cancer is involved, or like in the story above when a hernia is involved, and this woman already had her tubes tied years prior.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nHowever, if the situation is dealt with early enough, or isn\u2019t a true emergency, seeing a qualified holistic practitioner to correct the underlying causes of the symptoms is extremely helpful. I\u2019ve seen it in my own clients, and in the clients of my colleagues.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nWhat Can I Do If I Am Experiencing Symptoms Of Fibroids?<\/span>\n\nFirst things first, it\u2019s important to find out WHY the symptoms are happening in the first place. Getting to a doctor such as a gynecologist is important here. They may run blood labs, do ultrasounds and other tests to determine the cause.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nOnce you know WHY your symptoms are popping up, find someone who knows what they\u2019re doing to help you implement a protocol to correct those underlying causes.<\/span>\n\nA combination of diet, supplements and lifestyle-based protocols will have the most profound effect.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nI will not share any specific recommendations here as what will work for you is specific to you – and using generalized tips from the internet is not a safe way to deal with the types of symptoms discussed earlier.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nThe important piece to take away from this is to get the support you need in order to make an informed decision. Simply taking the advice of either a doctor or a holistic practitioner as gospel is not a smart idea.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nOften these issues require a combination of both, and the commitment by you to do what you need to do to feel better.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nWhen you begin holistic interventions – it\u2019s not like taking a pill. It takes time for the body to rebalance itself, unlike taking an Advil for a headache and feeling better an hour later.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nStay consistent, get support and be gentle with your body.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nThat\u2019s truly the best you can do for yourself – allow that space and time to heal.<\/span>\n\n—\n\nRead Part 1 of this series here: My Experience With Fibroids<\/a>\n\n—<\/i><\/b>\n\nRobyn Srigley, BA, PTS, CNP, NNCP is The Hormone Diva!
